Description

:star: :star: EDIT: THIS WILL ACTUALLY GET UPDATED I PROMISE :star: :star:
I'm working on a different format for it, which is a bit more like a tutorial, and it's been slow work plagued by technical difficulties.
Meanwhile, here is a picture in which you can see the finished dress:

I'll keep updating this as I go.

The overwhelming response when I asked if you wanted to see some cosplay progress pics was "yes", so here you are! I'm going as Ciel from Kuroshitsuji to Amaranth (the anime ball held as part of Manifest) in August. But Ciel when he wears a dress as part of a plan to catch Jack the Ripper.
<-- this.

Amusingly, Madame Red is very wrong when she says it's the height of fashion of the time. The dress is at least 20 years out of date! And the hat and hair are just blatantly anachronistic.


Updates 4 July 2011
(1) The cage crinoline. I wasn't sure if this was going to work out; I'm just making everything up as I go along, no patterns or instruction or anything. But it did! It's made from irrigation hosing and cotton tape.

(2) The petticoat is both to add volume and, more importantly, to stop the rings of the crinoline showing through! It's longer here than it will end up: I'm waiting to trim the bottom after I've done the underskirt so I can get the length right.


That's it for now. At the moment I'm a little worried about how big it is. I may have to make the crinoline smaller later... but even if I do, I'm going to look like a cake. This dress has at least 20 times more ruffles than I would choose to put on a dress for me XD
